I think that's a good idea - though I think people would potentially work in clandestine ways to identify themselves somehow.

...name withheld to protect the daft. |

Who's posting ideas under my name? The nerve! |

I think [Zimmy]'s loosing his mind |

|
|
I think [Zimmy]'s losing his mind. Really. |
|
|
Funny you should ask, [longshot]. Actually I posted it under bung's name as an experiment. |
|
|
And posted that anno under [Mach]'s username! |
|
|
Nice try [bungston]. VJ is yours and youre stuck with it. |

As you can see from the above simulated situation, ladies and gentlemen, this is a terrible idea. |
|
|
This is getting messy. I'm having a hard time keeping track of all the annos I posted under everyone's username. |
|
|
This is funny stuff. But seriously, I like getting to know the people that post ideas or annotate. |
|
|
And as for people bunning [farmerjohn] ideas because they are from [farmerjohn], I don't think that happens. I think this crowd is more mature than that. |

Social club conversations? Has to do with group forming and bonding, nothing wrong with it, it's just like in life, get over it. |

Persecution of newcomers. I've seen [theroberts] getting a verbal beating just because he did not come across as a very cool dude. I happened to like his honesty. A bad thing happened there and I blame some halfbakers. Still, we can't all get along, so there you have it: it's just life. |
|
|
I like that about the halfbakery, I get angry with people I don't even know, I like people I don't even know, they make me laugh frequently and one or two times I was actually saddened by what people I don't know annotated or by what happened to people I don't know. |
|
|
I wouldn't make any offensive remarks on ideas by [contracts] because I think he's the kind of person who would not like that. I would do it to [unabubba] because i think he's the kind of person who would laugh. I might be wrong. But I like that there are personalities here. And I also note that whenever people are annotating about stuff that is not directly in reponse to the idea they apologise for going "off topic". I don't agree that the ideas are getting less important than the personalities. |
|
|
Something tells me I could have said as much without so many words. |
|
|
Yeah, you could have just boned the idea, [zeno]. But I agree with pretty much most of what you said. |
|
|
I wouldn't keep coming back if it wasn't for the 'bakers. Well, I would actually, but the sentiment's there. |
|
|
What zeno said, especially the third sentence. |
|

//persecution of newcomers//
Persecution of idiots or people who don't bother to read the rules is all I see. There's an awful lot of what I would consider newcomers driving along the ideas in the 'bakery at the moment. I don't see much persecution.
//guaranteed croissants for old hands//
Really? Where's mine then eh? Come on, cough up!
//"social club" conversations//
I was just chatting in the lounge with po and DrCurry and angel about this the other day over a nice cup of Earl Grey and a digestive biscuit and we came to the conclusion that it was a myth. <cough> |
|
|
I have just appointed myself the [auto-churner] so here is something to read about from 2005. |
|
|
Funny thing is, they're still in the lounge. That tea must be getting cold. I'll make some fresh. |
